Saturday Shifters-Stacey Brutger

Tell me about
yourself.How long have you been
writing?

I came into reading late, but
once I picked up my first book, I haven’t stopped since. I devoured books in
every genre. That love changed subtly when I tried my hand at writing my own
stories. I’ve been writing for over ten years, learning and improving my craft.
After finishing ten books, I finally took the plunge and published my first
book (Electric Storm) last year. It’s been a very exciting ride.

Where did the
inspiration for this story come from?

Inspiration is everywhere. For BloodSworn,
inspiration came in the form of one the title: BloodSworn. The plot quickly
unfolded from there. But plot isn’t everything. Merrick, the lion shifter in my
latest release, had a big hand in helping the characters come alive. He was
domineering and very pigheaded on how he thought the story should be written.
Trina was more subtle but no less demanding. Together, they were magic, their
devotion and love touching, and they made the book come to life.

Who is your favorite
shifter character from TV or the movies?

I love science fiction and
fantasy, so picking only one character is tough. How about I pick a movie? I
love the Underworld trilogy. The shifters were larger than life and more than
just monsters. Not to mention the graphics were very well done.

What is your writing
space like?

I converted a bedroom in my
house to a makeshift library. I have a big, old metal desk that takes up a
third of the room and half a dozen bookshelves packed high with thousands of
books. Unfortunately, that doesn’t leave me much space to write. I have just
enough space on my desk to place my laptop and that’s it. I love it!

you can check my site where I have excerpts and pictures of some of my
characters or at Amazon.com at http://amzn.com/e/B007SF2XOG

More about BloodSworn

Ten
years after they bound her powers and banished her, Trina Weyebridge had
successfully carved out a new existence in the human world. She put her life as
a witch behind her. But, her magic would not be denied, the bindings holding
them in check are weakening. Vampires who crave a taste of the powers stored in
her blood are hunting her with deadly force and have kidnapped her sister to
lure her out. In a desperate bid to free her sister and gain her own freedom,
Trina bargains with the all-too-tempting lion shifter who calls out the long
forgotten wild side in her...she would be his concubine in return for pack
protection. She’d be safe…until they found out the truth.

UNDENIABLE DESIRE.
FORBIDDEN LOVE. INESCAPABLE DESTINY.

When Merrick spots a female intruder living on his property, he’s
intrigued by her daring. Curious to find out more, he follows her and comes to
her aid when she falls prey to an attack. After weeks of unnatural silence, his
beast awakens at her touch, and he suspects that she might be the only one able
to save his race from a disease killing his kind. Not willing to take the
chance of losing her, he binds her to him the only way he knows how…by claiming
her as his own. All he has to do to save her is uncover the secrets of her past,
stop a pack revolt, convince her that she’s desperately in love with him in
return, and prevent a war
